I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that sufficient basic data are not available on which to base a reliable estimate of the yield to the Exchequer from this proposal, as information is not required on tax returns in relation to all capital gains. Accordingly, it is not possible to provide the specific information requested by the Deputy.
